What is the equal but opposite reaction for death?

Question

Birth can't be the equal but opposite reaction to death because the population is growing. Yet birth is the opposite of death.

Can anyone make sense out of it?

Death is an occurance but there must still be an action for the occurance to take place.

Answer 1

The statement "everything has an equal but opposite reaction" is NOT Newton's third law. It is not even a law at all.

Newton's third law actually states (I'm paraphrasing here):
"Forces come in pairs. If there is one force, there is another, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction"

It applies only to forces, and only to forces as defined in the scientific sense. Death is not a force, in the scientific sense. The best way to think of forces are as a Push or a Pull on an object.

Answer 2

no, death is an example of Cause and Effect, not an example of action and reaction. They're different things. And birth is not the opposite of death, it's something else entirely. So sorry but your question is meaningless as it is using the wrong parameters

Answer 3

You seem to be thinking in a somewhat fuzzy manner about Newton's third law of motion, which is stated differently from the way most people are taught.

But that applies to the motions of objects and the forces acting on objects in an inertial reference frame.

Your question has nothing to do with physical forces, and is, in fact, confused and garbled.

Answer 4

you are confused. you are using the wrong terminology to ask your question. your question makes no sense. you ask equal but opposite "reaction for" death. the usual reaction to death is sadness. so the opposite is happiness. then you state population growth as something to do with demise of population. think your question through.

Answer 5

It's simple really. The equal but opposite reaction to death is your eternal life on the other side. Makes sense to me ; )

Answer 6

death is not an action, it's an occurance. (most of the time)

Answer 7

Death is not an action, but rather the ceasing of actions.

Answer 8

in fact you're right,it's not equal,there are too many factors involved,diease,injury,disasters,shootings,wrecks,so it's not equal even though it's the exact opposite,who could say it wouldn't be eaqual without the outside influence factors?hard to tell,obviously it wouldn't at first,but would it eventually catch up?probablly not,,,,lol,and actually,doesn't apply to the intended purpose as you can see above

Answer 9

getting full insurance money in no time or a birth of a child (boy)

Answer 10

People refuse to attempt to think out of the cup (box is too normal!)

When something dies it becomes consumed by decomposers (somethings death let something else live!)
I die, worms eat me, birds eat worms, people eat birds, and round and round we go!
